About this map

The high ridges of the Kootenai National Forest dominate this Lincoln County landscape, centered on the prominent Mt Marston and the adjacent Patrick Ridge. The terrain is characterized by steep elevation changes, with Gibraltar Ridge and Krinklehorn Peak defining the local watershed. This 2017 data highlights a network of recreational and access routes through the wilderness, including the Grave Creek Snowmobile (Snow) trail and the Birch X-C Ski (Snow) route, reflecting the modern use of these mountain ranges.

Water flows through the drainage systems of Williams Creek and Deep Creek, with the lower southwest corner of the map reaching the edge of Fortine. This settlement sits at the base of the mountains, where the heavy timber and high peaks give way to more accessible valley terrain. The map also documents numerous Forest Service development roads, such as Natl Forest Develop Road 900 Rd, which provide access to high-altitude landmarks like Deep Mtn and Mt Petery.
